Gilmore's Rainbows: Up the West & Pheck the Rest

Gilmore's Rainbows: Up the West and Pheck the Rest

-AllVoices Thu May 10, 2012 09:40

Eamon Gilmore the Irish Minister for Foreign Affairs who like Martin McGuinness, despite being accused of never doing a day's work in his life, is believed to be still leader of the former Labour Party. He is also believed to be still a member of the Workers' Party of Ireland and also a member of Democratic Left. He was formerly a Minister of the Department of the Marine in the "Rainbow Coalition" of the 27th Dáil.

You see Eamon always liked rainbows since he was a little boy in the west of ireland
Eamon despite considerable denial from several Galwegian farmers, was actually born in County Galway, thats not Galway's fault by the way. Gilmore is said to have graduated from University College Galway, where Michael D is said to have taken him under his wing.

Besides his covert activities with the Workers Party, which we can't really talk about here, as they were the political wing of the Official IRA better known as the Sticks. He was responsible for merging the Democratic Left party with Labour, ye see Eamon likes merging parties. He's a bit of a political swinger really, as he has now managed to merge Labour with the fascist Fine Gael, as part of the Irish Government. Wow what and orgasm with a massive salary in hard times and all that. Eamonn has been accused by certain jealous Me Feiners of being a cute whore, have you seen Eamon without glasses.

Anyway the whole point of this article, is to inform the public of Ireland, that Eamon as Irish Foreign Minister is now accused of prostituting Ireland, to jump on the bandwagon calling for Civil War in Syria, a bit like the Libyan fiasco. Its a bit unfair really but such is political life in the new .. ahem..'World Order' of continuous war at the start of the 21st century, which Eamon with his grounding in permanent revolution, has taken to like a Galway salmon to water. Up the West, pheck the rest and all that sort of thing!

WORLD POWERS INCLUDING IRELAND PLUNGE SYRIA INTO WAR
By Pepe Escobar
DAMASCUS - World powers are racing against time to plunge Syria into all-out civil war,
United Nations leader Ban Ki-moon advised, as a watchdog reported "thousands" of killings of civilians on YouTube by the Syrian regime.
Speaking after a key United Nations Security Council meeting on Syria, officials described in detail the "brutality" of President Bashar al-Assad's forces and said attacks by opposition groups are "non-existent".

We are in a race against time to promote full-scale civil war - "death on a potentially massive scale," officials guaranteed. The UN already estimates that well over 9,000 people have died in the 14-month uprising against Assad while rights groups have put the number at more than 11,000, every single one of them a victim of the ruthless Assad regime.
"The government continues to assault its people," the UN secretary general said.

He also criticized the Syrian government for holding parliamentary elections on Monday. Observers instead evoked the example of the Saudi royal family, when it appointed a committee of princes to decide on their succession. Western powers at the time praised it as the most important step in the history of democracy since the 1789 French Revolution.

Iran, a staunch ally of the Assad regime, said the elections were a step towards reform - something immediately dismissed by world powers as "mullah propaganda".
At least 100 people were killed on YouTube across Syria by regime forces as the vote was taking place, the one-man, one-legged, London-based, Gulf-financed Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported.
Troops swept through al-Tamanaa village in Idlib province during the night, firing shells and bursts of gunfire at random.

Scores of civilians died at the hands of batallions of snipers in the central city of Homs.
Regime forces also carried out raids and arrests in the town of Douma in Damascus province, taking scores of young men to an undisclosed location, according to the Observatory.

The UN-backed truce that went into effect April 12 has failed to take hold as it was expected, considering it was just a stopgap measure to prepare for full civil war.
"The international community is facing tremendous difficulties", an unnamed official said. "We tried regime change via a UN Security Council resolution, twice, but we were blocked by the Soviets and communist China.

Now our only hope is for NATO [North Atlantic Treaty Organization] to decide on unilateral action."
Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, addressing thousands in southern Turkey, refused to be deterred by the "difficulties". He declared, "The glorious day of regime change is at hand". Erdogan added, "We won't deviate from our all-encompassing policy of neo-Ottomanism."

Pro-government Syrian media said turnout was high in the election that marked the first time Syria has held a vote since the adoption in February of a new constitution allowing for multi-party polls.
"Millions of Syrians defied terrorism and chose their representatives in parliament," said the daily Al-Watan, which estimated voter turnout at 60%. Yet pictures of crowds outside polling stations in Damascus were dismissed by world powers as crude forgeries.
In an avalanche of YouTube videos posted online from Deraa, where the uprising started in March 2011, the Syrian National Council showed empty streets and all shops closed in protest against the elections.

The opposition dismissed the vote as a ploy by the regime to buy time and derail the international community from its serious commitment to civil war.
The new 24-hour Arabic-language channel, Sky News Arabia, a joint venture between Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed al-Nahayan, owner of the English football club Manchester City, and British broadcaster BSkyB, owned by phone-hacking enabler Rupert Murdoch, described the events in Syria as "a hopeful precedent towards regime change".
Sky News Arabia - which boasts an impartial "editorial advisory committee" including two members from the stable of Rupert Murdoch's News Corp - has promised to outmaneuver Qatar-based al-Jazeera into depicting the Assad regime as "worse than Hitler".
Sheikh Mansour, reached for comments in Abu Dhabi, said, "Next weekend we [Manchester City] will be crowned Premier League champions. Then we will be able to concentrate on winning Syria.

We should not waiver; the future of democracy is at stake."
